Traffic Control (tc)

Traffic Control (tc) is a tool used in computer networking to manage and shape data traffic flowing through a network. It helps prioritize, limit, or schedule data transmission, ensuring that important tasks get bandwidth when needed and preventing network congestion. Think of it like traffic lights and signs that control the flow of cars on a road, but for digital data. This improves network performance, reduces delays, and maintains stability by efficiently directing data packets based on rules set by network administrators.
